Noted Maine artist David Footer, now 80, learned habits of wildlife and the balance of nature as a young trapper. At the same time, his interest grew in art as he borrowed books from the Lewiston Public Library and began studying the works of great masters. Eventually, Dave began to learn the subtle nuances and techniques of using light and color, and since 1994, his art has been on the covers of Maine Fish and Wildlife publications. In 2002 a 13-page feature story was published in the Art of Angling Journal. David’s generous contributions to many conservation causes over the years is matched by his belief in the healing power of nature and the “human conservation” that Casting for Recovery celebrates. This 2011 numbered (#829/1000) Limited Edition print measures 11” x 14” and is signed with David’s Special Trout and Fly Signature.
